In any case, Wu Yusen will not give up the role of pigeons in his shootout. They landed around the church, spreading their wings in gunfire and splashing plasma.
I think that after many years, people may forget "Red Cliff" or Wu Yusen's experience in Hollywood, but they will definitely not forget those pigeons.
So when I saw the end of "Changing Face", a funeral organized in a church, with a group of pigeons, and then the gun battle, blood, and iconostasis that followed, I found out that I found Wu Yusen. The pigeon, the pigeon is flying again.
For a director, this kind of thinking may be frustrating. People always remember him for one type of movie, but ignore or forget about other types of movies-maybe this is why Wu Yusen made great efforts to shoot "Red Cliff", right? But can you really shoot it? I have seen too many directors, ambitiously planning to make films, and want to squeeze into the hall of masters in an vain attempt to live forever, but the result? --no result.
Not all artists can accept his work forever, just accept it now. Isn't "Changing Face" Chibi pretty good, simple plot, simple reason, exciting film rhythm, hot action scenes, how many directors can do this step?
As the old saying goes, there are three hundred and sixty lines. There is an old saying that once you have diamonds, you can do porcelain work again. Therefore, a commercial film maker does not have to make an epic masterpiece to become a master; if you want to make an epic masterpiece, you have to see whether you are suitable or not.
On the eve before "Red Cliff" was released, I sat quietly at home and watched "Changing Face", and suddenly felt that this was also good. Without Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", at least we still have his "Changing Face", "The True Color of a Hero", and "Across the World". Isn't that good too? With a group of pigeons alone, he will also be remembered by us, and we will become a master of violent aesthetics.
